Let's assume Kavanaugh is guilty and 36 years ago, as a drunk, high school boy, he got randy with you when you were also drunk. You made your escape one way or another, but told no one.
From that day to this, Brett Kavanaugh leads a blameless life. He rises to the top of his profession to the point where he is nominated for the Supreme Court, an honor only a tiny handful of people will ever experience. Every other woman who has had any significant interaction with him swears on stacks of Bibles that he's a gentleman and worthy of respect. It's clear beyond all reasonable doubt that whatever he did with you was a one-of-a-kind aberration.
Now you decide to confront him? Now? The dude has been letter perfect from the day he felt you up to this, but you figure that's enough to ruin his life?
What kind of sick, psycho witch does something like that?

Well, if I heard that one of the guys who made my life miserable in high school was about to be appointed to some high office, and his supporters were making him out to be practically a saint, I'd probably want to say something about it just to make sure he'd really reformed.
But, I think there is a bigger issue here that is getting obscured. Kavanaugh is a Yale graduate. Every justice on the Supreme Court went to law school at either Yale or Harvard. There are 204 ABA accredited law schools in the US, and at least a dozen are considered on a par with Yale and Harvard. Are we really supposed to believe that all of the people who are qualified to serve on the Supreme Court only come from these two schools? I don't think so. There must be hundreds if not thousands of qualified people for that job, but the only ones who get it are the "elites" who have the connections, and have been steeping in the seedy side of government for their whole lives. I think that instead of acting like there is only one suitable person for the job and it is some kind of catastrophe if they don't get it, we should be treating it like any other hiring situation and actually winnow through the hundreds of people who are qualified and would like the job.
I'm with Tim Eisele on the Yale thing. Raymond Kethledge, Michigan alum is on Trump's short list. Amul Thapar is a Cal alumnus. Amy Coney Barret, Notre Dame. Allison Eid is a Chicago alumna. The last few have the added bonus of ringing so the PC bells. The Barrett is supposed to be very prolife which would make liberal heads explode. And Thapar is s convert to Catholicism.
